10.6.2. Placement of rectangular washers for on-board fuse
The optional on-board fuse is described in chapter 7.7.
This chapter describes how to place rectangular washers (if used) for mounting of the on-board fuse on the
terminal posts of the motor controller.
Orient the rectangular
washers as shown in the
picture to the right.
Washer shall touch only the
conductive forks of the
fuse, not the fuse body.

10.7 Start-up and commissioning
This section presents a general procedure for startup and verification of a motor controller following
installation in a vehicle.
The motor controller is a software configurable device. In a CAN slave system, some or all aspects of the
motor controller setup and operation may be managed by a vehicle master controller communicating over
the CAN bus. For standalone operation (primarily the I/O version), customized software must be installed in
the motor controller.
Built-in diagnostics functions monitor battery voltage, heat sink temperature, motor temperature, and other
conditions. Error and warning information is available to the master controller, and all event information is
stored in an event log for service access. (See chapter 11) The event log provides additional information as
well as procedures for pinpointing and eliminating causes for warning and error conditions.
WARNING
Testing vehicle parameters – risk of personnel injury/damage to equipment
Wiring errors, improper setup, or other conditions may cause the vehicle to move in the
incorrect direction or at the incorrect speed.
Take necessary precautions to prevent injury to personnel or damage to equipment prior to
applying power for the first time.
10.7.1. Checks prior to initial power up
Perform the following checks before applying power to a motor controller for the first time:
1. Verify that the proper motor controller item number for the application has been
installed. Verify that the vehicle battery voltage matches the motor controllers Nominal
DC Supply Voltage rating listed on the product identification label (see Figure 7).
2. Verify that the correct software for the application has been loaded into the motor
controller.
